Airbus appoints Remi Maillard as head of technology, sources say

PARIS, May 23 (Reuters) - Airbus is appointing its top executive in South Asia to be its next head of technology, industry sources said on Friday.

Remi Maillard will also be responsible for commercial aircraft engineering, replacing Sabine Klauke in both roles and superseding the “Chief Technology Officer” role which will no longer sit on the executive committee, they said.

From July 1, Klauke will become head of the next generation of digital design and manufacturing activities within the main commercial business. Airbus declined to comment.
